The block size in HDFS is set to 64MB by default for several reasons: efficiency (it balances between disk I/O and network bandwidth), fault tolerance (large blocks reduce the number of blocks per file, reducing the likelihood of losing multiple blocks in a single failure), and scalability (larger block sizes enable HDFS to handle larger files more efficiently).
